Principal News
Dear Parents,
Very hard to believe that we have four weeks of school left for the 2024 school year. At this point in time I would like to make you aware of some of the important events coming up and acknowledge those who are doing a lot of work behind the scenes so that your children can Strive in Faith, Learning and Life..
The beginning of this week saw the Year 6 students celebrate the launch of their book, 'Maverick', which was co-authored with celebrated author Emma Mactaggart. This was a great learning opportunity for the students, with a very positive message regarding sun safety as the theme. This week of celebration is currently being completed with Year 6 Camp at Currimundi on the Sunshine Coast.
On Wednesday next week, some of our current Year 5 students will have the opportunity to further their leadership aspirations when they give their speech on why they should be a school or vice captain at St Saviour's Primary in 2025 with voting to commence shortly after. That same afternoon, we look forward to welcoming our 2025 prep parents for their final information session with the prep teachers. Thanks to our Prep and Year 5 teachers for organising these two crucial events.
Of course, our annual Christmas Concert is sheduled for Thursday 28th November. Mrs Kelly, with the assistance of Mrs Thomas, have been working on this one for a number of weeks and is sure to be a truly special occasion. The night will be split into two, with a disco also happening on the oval for the children. Feel free to bring along picnic blankets and chairs and enjoy the new facilities on the oval. Thanks to the Parent Engagement Network for organising this fantastic community event.
It is hoped that teachers and staffing will be announced for 2025 in the week 8 newsletter. Children will then find out their teacher on Tuesday 3 December.
The final week of term will see report cards going home on the Tuesday and transition morning on the Wednesday 4 December for all students (including our new prep students). This then leads into our final awards ceremony on Thursday and Graduation for the Year 6 students on Friday.
So much to look forward to over the next four weeks at St Saviour's Primary and as always I look forward to seeing as many parents as possible as these events unfold. Please remember, you are always welcome at your child's school.
Instrumental Music
Please take the time to read the article on a potential instrumental music program that will be introduced in 2025. We are at the expression of interest stage at the moment to see if the program would be viable.
Haircuts
A quick mention with relation to appropriate hair cuts. All students are to have hair at an appropriate length and are to be in a manner that do not attract attention to themselves. Therefore, long hair does need to be tied in the school colours (red,navy,greeen) and hair should be neat and tidy at all times. 'Mullet' type haircuts are not acceptable and I do thank those parents who have modified these haircuts in the last few weeks.
